You might be old school if you think a downtube is something you would find in a proctologist office and not on a sprintcar. :10:

You might be old school if you still refer to a RR as a "humper"
You might be old school if you look in the event program and are disappointed there are no Offys in the field

You might be Old School, if the sound of a V860 brings a tear to your eyes!
Or, if you long for the sound of a Ranger 6 cylinder, in a jalopy!
Or, if you've had the privilege of working on either! Bob! :3:

Your an old timer, if your still using Gasketchinch to seal your McGurk Tri-Drive. Even older, if your still using a Kotex pad rapped in a shop rag and black taped to the drive to run the pavement shows.

Re: Old School
 
You remember when sprint cars ran a hundred lapper, they put the longer banana tank on their race car and went at it for a hundred laps. No fuel stop, break in the middle, etc.

Yep, when your firesuit was a t shirt, greasy work pants and no gloves at all. Nothing stops fire like greasy pants and t shirts.

You might be old school if you remember when roll cages were optional...

when a driver t-shirt was only 10 dollars and you had to go to the pits to buy it because there was no such thing as a souvenir trailer...

when drivers didn't even sell t-shirts.....

and for you REALLY old farts...when they TOWED your car with a rope to start it.....

You might be old school if you've seen beer kegs used for fuel tanks on super modifieds and they used 3 rib tractor tires on the front.

Re: Old School
 
You might be old school if you put an Olds V8 into a Ford coupe so you could tow over the hills at a speed that the drivers behind you thought was acceptable.

Or, if you saw Sheldon Kinser driving down the front stretch at Terre Haute with the seat belts flapping in the breeze, because "I was in a transfer spot".
